A member asked:

To avoid zika should i consider moving from miami if i have 2 little kids and pregnant wife? we already avoid mosquitoes but this was a swamp

Hard to say: I would expect to see reports of the virus spread north as far as the involved mosquitoes can range.Within a year or two it may cover most of the country. Avoiding the outside at dawn and after dusk/long shirts and pants, deet containing repellents applied hourly (per 10% strength)are ways to avoid infection.Eliminating standing water sources near the house also helps.
